Overview

Many types of Giants dwell in the Realm of Asgard, and mostly in Jotunheim. The Giants of Jothunheim are also known as Etins,[1] Jotunkind,[2] Giantkind,[3] Jotnar,[2] Jötunn,[4] or Jotuns.[citation needed]

There is no known relation between the Giants of Otherworld, and the Giants of Jotunheim (nor the Gigantes).[5] Some of those are originated from Niffleheim, where was born Ymir,[6] and some still live there.[7]

The shape-shifting giantess Angerboda, born to the Elderspawn Vârcolac and Echidna (respectivelly spawn of the Elder Gods Chthon and Set),[8] was considered a giant of Jotunheim.[9]

Human-sized Giants of Jotunheim

Some giants are of reduced height,[10] like Solveig,[3] Bragmir[11] or Sludge.[12] Some are even human-sized (or god-sized), like Knorda,[13] Loki[14][15] the hybrid Skurge,[16] and possibly Jack Frost.[17]
